This post has been made to put a stop to all the inaccuracies and speculation on which armament will be featured with the F/A-18C Hornet.

I've made a collection of every confirmed weapon, and included a source to the forum post or (official) video i found it in.

The list featured here is incomplete and subject to change.

 

That said, if in any of the other threads a dev confirms a weapon, please PM me the weapon and direct postlink/videoUrl (no pictures).

Since everything we see in screenshots can be artwork, I only accept videos (like the one from E3).

I will be updating this list as more is being revealed to the public.

 

Confirmed:

 

Air to Ground:

Hydra 70 rockets:

 

GBU-xx :

 

AGM-62 Walleye:

AGM-84 Harpoon:

AGM-84 SLAM-ER:

AGM-88 HARM:

AGM-154 JSOW

 

Air to Air:

AIM-7M/F/P, HoJ and flood modes present:

AIM-9M:

AIM-9X (with HMCS): Wallpapers, and for HMCS:

AIM-120(types needed):

 

Mixed:

20mm M61A1 Vulcan:

 

Planned, but not for initial release:

AGM-65E and other laser guided:

 

 

Special thanks to Olgerd and Wags for being very transparant on a lot of the weapons, systems and liveries of this very WIP module.

is it not getting the Aim 120 ?

 

Check the OP's linked post that ends in "230"

 

"AA radar + Long range missiles" - well it doesn't have long range missiles, but it does have 2 kinds of MRMs...

It'll have the AIM-120, considering the OFP and Lot we are getting supports it.

Yep, We're all pretty sure it will get both the AIM-120C and Aim-7, but until it can be backed up by a source I'm a bit reluctant to put it up here..

the op clearly states the purpose of this thread is to only list word-of-god confirmations and not speculation, so as to function as a reference resource. there's already another armament discussion thread so can we use that instead of turning two different threads into the same pile of crap?

Is the AGM-65E actually going to happen or is that more of a wishful? I thought we had it for the A-10C and then it was removed at the request of the USAF.

I don't mind if discussion takes place here, as long as people are aware things are only getting up on the list if there's a source provided.

 

The reason I made this additional thread is because I set out to continuously update it as more info is getting available. Not sure if the other OP is that committed.

the best thing is after the F-18C fullpackage is released, ED has all important technologies done to build a F-16 too.

 

Maybe they will release one 1 or 1 1/2 years after the F.18 (speculations)
